A Hero's Act.

Payton Spencer is the name of a
young colored man who earns an honest
livelihood as porter on a Pullman car
running to this point says the OMAHA
Herald. And Payton Spencer is more !;
he is a hero. Yesterday at Council
Bluffs while his train was backing into
the transfer depot he was standing on
the rear platform and discovered a 2
year-old child on the track No one
was near enough to rescue it, and those
who rushed forward to attempt it turn
ed their eyes away when they saw they
could not save the little one, to avoid
seeing it crushed to death. But PAXTON
Spencer, with quick decision and cool
nerve sprang to the bottom step, hung
out on the iron rod of the platform
guard, leaned ahead of the car as far as
he could and grasped the child with his
strong hand just in time, raising it to
the platform in safety.
Such deeds have been praised in po-
etry and prose when engineers have
gone on the engine pilots to rescue
thoughtless toddlers when certain death
was bearing down upon them, but Pay
ton Spencer is as great a hero as any.
He was the one man to act in that awful
emergency, and he acted gloriously
Bravo for the brave colored porter, and
bravo again And who shall gainsaY
that he should not have some more sub.
stantial recognition for his yalorio us
deed?

The feature of celebrating the twenty
fifth anniversary of the issuance of the
Emancipation proclamation at the Min
neaoolis exposition is a happy one, and
as the occasion is so alspicious it is de-
sired that all who have any race pride
or any interest in the welfare of the
race, will endeayor to make the day not
only successful in financial way for
the management, but successful one
for US. Let us show to the people of
the great Northwest that we are here in
very considerable numbers, and that
we are able to successfully cope with
them in our acquired abilities. Let us
sshow by our large attendance and gen,
steel department that we fully under
stand and appreciate their motives in
according us special day Of course
we know that we are Just as much
American as any people can be, having
been to the manor born, but as dis
tinct class we should endeavor in every
way to impress our more highly favored
brothers and sisters with the import
ance of paying more attention to us
than they usually do. The committee
of arrangements which is composed of
some of the most active men in the
state are putting forth everv effort to
make the number of colored people
present at the expositionon that day
larger than on any former occasion in
the state. The fact that they have gone
to the expense of having Hon. John
Mercer Langston, ex-United States
Minister to Hayti, to come here and
deliver an address on that occasion.
shows their kindly interest in making
the celebration all that we would have
it to be. Let us, each, and everyone of
US, do his or her part on that day. IF
you do not 60 Oh any other day, 60 on
Emancipation day. Let the preachers
from their pulpits impress upon their
congregations the Importance of making
a good and favorable showing on that
day. Let us all endeavor to
get our uncles, sisters, cousins and
our aunts from all parts of the country
to attend on that day. Let it be a day
we will all be proud of, to this end let
us all work. Remember the day,
